When The System Collapses
When the system collapses, I will hold space.

I will access my wisdom and love.
I will be me.
When the system collapses, I will hold space.
I will access my happiness, laughter, and joy.
I will step into a new way of being.
When the system collapses, I will hold space.
I will access my personal rainbow.
I will shine clear and true.
When the system collapses, I will hold space.
I will hold space for you to access your wisdom and light.
When the system collapses,
I will hold space for you to be you.
When the system collapses, I will hold space.
I will access my light.
I will be me.
I will be me.

Happy Joe
Recently, I have been experiencing a unique surprise. This is a feeling inside of true heartfelt joy. It is the joy that I sense in being a part of life. It is the joy that I have of being alive. I call this feeling the emergence of "Happy Joe."
It is odd for me to say "Happy Joe." It is actually a bit uncomfortable, but the feeling inside is real. I recognize the feeling inside. It is like a glowing smile that warms and sparkles. I have not had too many real experiences like this in my lifetime, but the experiences that I have had were truly amazing.
In truth, I have devoted my life to going into heavier places. On many levels, this was my choice. I wanted to understand and fix all that hurt in life.
Somewhere along the way, on my journey through the deep and the heavy, I see that "Happy Joe" was never really given the chance to come to life. I set him aside. I lost him a long while back.
Last summer, as my mom passed, I faced my greatest fear: I lost the person that knew the real me. Today, I see that through my relationship with my mom, I was the aspects that she knew I had inside. In loving my mom, I became the qualities that she saw in me. Through my relationship with my mom, I accepted and welcomed into consciousness "Compassion Joe," "Courage Joe," "Grace Joe," and "Unconditional Love Joe."
After my mom's passing, she visited me in spirit form with a powerful statement and one powerful wish. She told me our relationship was not over and that her greatest wish was for me to love life again. My heart was filled with warmth, as I connected with her, but I told her that I did not think I could give her the wish. I did not think it was possible. I was aware of my compassion, my grace, my wisdom, and my love. Spending so much of my life focused on suffering had brought these aspects of me to life, but I stopped believing in "Happy Joe" a long time ago.
It has been some time since my mom's passing. Unexpectedly, I have been noticing the happiness in those around me. I am in awe of my girlfriend and the level of joy she radiates. And I have seen a side of my dad that is beyond explanation. At 80 years old, he has turned off the television, begun rollerblading in the mornings, playing in the gym a few hours in the mid-morning, ballroom dancing a few hours each afternoon, and he has begun going out on play dates in the evenings to the movies, casinos, concerts, and more.
What is this happiness coming alive around me? Is it time for me to accept it? I can feel the support by those around me. And of course, my mom is with me, along with many other angels and guides helping from the spirit realm.
It is a hard for me to believe, but it is true: "Happy Joe" is beginning to awaken. I am starting to feel the joy.
In my life, I have been driven to understand the depth of human pain and suffering. Along the way, I have been blessed to experience compassion, courage, grace, and unconditional love. Now unexpectedly, I am seeing the opportunity to embrace a part of me that was lost.
Welcome back "Happy Joe."
Welcome home.

The Unfamiliar
Right now, many of you are experiencing some unfamiliar times.
I can relate.
But what is the unfamiliar?
As I sink into life, I understand that change is to be expected.
With change, we move from one set of dynamics to another.
We move from one job to another.
We move from one house to another.
We move from one city to another.
But what happens when we change our jobs, housing, geographical locations, relationships, and we don’t know where we are going?
This is the unfamiliar.
Many of us today are making changes in life without knowing the outcome.
We are stepping into the unfamiliar.
Internally, we are stepping into a totally new way of being.
Externally, we are birthing a totally new way of co-creating.
We are evolving internally and externally.
When we truly let go of outdated concepts, rules, roles, and old ways of being, it is expected that we step into the unfamiliar.
It is expected that our situations will seem surreal at times.
These unfamiliar times can be scary.
It can be uncomfortable having no idea what to do about work, money, housing, or relationships.
The discomfort is normal.
Are you experiencing the unfamiliar?
Are you uncomfortable or afraid?
It is okay to welcome the discomfort and fear.
Invite all aspects of self into love.
You may be experiencing the unpleasant, but you are a being of love.
You are a truly a being of wisdom, love, and light.
You can access your heart and love all the parts of yourself that are uncomfortable.
You can open to your wisdom and reassure yourself that all is well.
You can open to your joy and honor what makes you happy.
As a being of wisdom, love, and light, these times in the unfamiliar can also be adventurous.
Take a moment and open up to your divine essence.
Take a moment and connect with your divine awareness.
With divine awareness, you sense divine timing.
You embrace the magic and mystery of the unknown.
You open and appreciate the wonderful and the miraculous.
In these times of the unfamiliar, you have amazing access to your knowing.
You are fully aware of the uncertainty, but you also know.
You know that all is well.
You know that all outcomes are okay.
You know that love is everywhere.
You know that you are a divine being of wisdom, love, and light.
With this knowing, you can relax into the unfamiliar.
You can honor what hurts and care for yourself.
You can open to your joy and celebrate life.
You can be your true and authentic self in all situations.
You can be truly free.
